More complicated race for Luca, eighth.
Starting from the second box of the grid under the rain, on the Ducati Desmosedici GP, Marco immediately takes the lead of the race and manages the particular weather conditions in the best possible way. In P1 for all the 25 laps of the race, he crosses the finishing line alone and achieves the victory. With today's 25 points, he is first in the general standings (50 points), also the first among the teams (65 points).
Eighth place for Luca, starting from the seventh place, after yesterday's excellent result (third in the Sprint), he can't repeat himself on the long run. In any case, he finished into the points, satisfied with the work done on the Argentine track and ready to get back on track in the USA in two weeks (Americas GP, 16 April 2023).
